Braves trade for reliever Jay Jackson

With all Braves fans’ eyes on whether or not the Braves are going to re-sign Freddie Freeman, it is easy to forget that organizations have to make a lot of random, minor moves during the offseason. With a owner lockout expected to begin at the beginning of December, the clock is ticking to get moves done before everything in baseball shuts down.

The Braves’ official Twitter announced on Monday afternoon that the team traded for 34 year old right hand reliever Jay Jackson from San Francisco, in exchange for cash considerations and a player to be named later.
